PDF stands for Portable Document Format and it was created by Adobe to ease document exchange.
doPDF is a free PDF printer that does what the name suggests, creates PDF files. Once installed it will allow
you to convert any type of printable documents to PDF files. doPDF installs itself as a virtual PDF printer
driver so after a successful installation will appear in your Printers and Faxes list and also in the list of All Programs.
Using doPDF you can convert to PDF in two ways:

Print to PDF via the virtual printer driver doPDF.

You would do this exactly as you print to a regular printer, just the result will be a PDF file,
not a printed piece of paper.

Open the document you want to convert (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPad, NotePad or
any printable document), choose Print and select doPDF from the list of printers.
You will be asked where to save the PDF file and when finished, the PDF will be automatically
opened with your default PDF reader.

After searching about 11 different PDF convertors,
I finally found a simple one that does exactly what I need! So many free convertors either won't
bring your fonts along, OR (worst of all), don't let you define the page size, for custom publishing situations.
THIS ONE DOES BOTH! It did them quickly, it did them perfectly, it did them without annoying \"Trial Only\"
watermarks imprinted on every page. [...] Happy, happy, happy... this 3-day search is over. The headaches are over.
Finally... fast, quality, free PDF conversion without a hassle!

9 Reasons to Use doPDF

1

It's simple and fast

You select WHAT document to convert and WHERE to save it and doPDF makes the PDF
way before you finish saying supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

2

Saves you money

doPDF is a PDF converter free for both commercial/business and personal use.
Won't cost you a dime to make PDF files (but we'll love you even more if you upgrade to novaPDF).

3

32-bit and 64-bit support

Same setup can be used to install doPDF on both 32 and 64-bit Windows operating systems
(and any 32-bit multiple when the time will come).

4

Universal

No GhostScript

Doesn’t require 3rd party programs to make PDF files such as GhostScript. This makes the setup file to be incredibly small compared to other free PDF creator programs (Adobe Acrobat 4 is required for the installation).

6

Searchable PDFs

You can search for text within the created PDF file
(and search engines will also index the text from the PDF).

7

Multi-language

doPDF is the ONLY free pdf maker whose interface is currently
available in 33 different languages and has a website translated in 30 languages (and growing, thanks to our translators).

8

Barely uses any computer resources

Compared to other free PDF creator software, doPDF barely uses any
memory or CPU resources when doing the actual conversion to PDF.

9

Do your part in saving the planet

Instead of consuming paper to print your document, why not create a PDF file
out of it and spare a couple of planet-saving trees?

PDF output presets

You can create high quality PDF files (i.e. for printing) or smaller files (i.e. for web publishing), depending on your needs. You can also choose to balance the two options by using the medium quality preset.

Automatic updates

We always recommend using the latest version of doPDF and its integrated automatic update engine will keep your version current. Update checks can be scheduled daily, weekly or monthly, but you can also disable this feature.

Graphic scale

The content of the resulting PDF can be shrunk to 1% off the original size, or enlarged up to 400%.

Addin for Microsoft Office

During installation you can install the novaPDF add-in for Microsoft Office. This allows doPDF to offer one-click conversion to PDF from Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio).

PDF Links and Bookmarks (Office only)

When you convert PDFs using the add-in for Microsoft Office, you can convert bookmarks and links from the original document in the resulting PDF file.

Always use this folder

You can have doPDF create and save the PDF file to the same folder each time,
no matter where you open the original document from.

Embed font subsets

To ensure that the resulting PDF file will look exactly as originally intended,
doPDF embeds by default the font subsets used in the original document.

Open with PDF reader

You can choose to have the PDF opened with the default PDF reader once it's converted.
